Ifeoma White-Thorpe Accepted Into All Eight American Ivy League Schools

Nigerian-American student, Ifeoma White-Thorpe has been accepted to all eight Ivy League Schools she applied to!

Speaking with WABC, the excited 17-year old said, “I was shaking, I was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, like this might be eight out of eight and I clicked it and it said ‘Congratulations’ and I was like oh my goodness and then I was like, what did I say?”

However, Ifeoma has to make a quick decision on which of the schools she wants to attend.

“I want to go into global health and study biology and so many of them have great research facilities, so I was like, I might as well just shoot my shot and apply.”

She also hopes she gets some scholarship, “At this point none of the schools I’ve applied to said they give merit scholarships, so I’m praying that they give me some more financial aid or some money, shout out to all of those schools, please give me something.”
